Also, I think the API calls are the core of the whole thing and I would
never expect XML API calls to be collected under the term "web site"
(which I always read as being an user-facing component).
OSM can, and should, work without a web site. Well, apart from the fact
that you need one to sign up.
But after using the misnomer "rails port" for years, I don't mind using
the misnomer "OSM website" for another few years and maybe we can find
something right later.
Bye
Frederik
